There are eight educated youths in this group who went to the countryside, five men and three women. The brigade made the decision and gave them a batch of grain on credit, which would then be deducted from their work points.

The genius suddenly dawned, and a group of educated youths followed the villagers to the fields to pull out peanuts. The old educated youths were accustomed to farm work and quickly picked up the task, as fast as the villagers.

But the newly arrived educated youths were all complaining, and they were exhausted after just a while. The slightly more delicate one even had blood marks on his palms.

The villagers nearby couldn't help but point at this group of educated youths with displeasure on their faces. In their view, this group of educated youths can't do anything and are just here to eat.

There is only so much food, and if the educated youths divide it, they will get less.

"Look, look, what can the people in this city do? You can even break your hands picking up peanuts. My seven-year-old preserved egg is not so delicate."

"Hey! Look at that handsome guy, he's not slow! I was thinking that he was handsome and the kind of guy who doesn't know how to work, but I didn't expect him to miss him."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this young man is wearing such good clothes when he goes to the field, and he is not afraid of being ruined. People from this city just don't know how to be frugal..."

The one the villagers were talking about was naturally Xie Shuchen.

The children of the Xie family have been required to do physical exercise since they were young and have a lot of activity. Despite his elegant and handsome appearance, his body is actually full of muscles.

Working in the fields is nothing to Xie Shuchen.

In fact, with his physical strength, he can be faster. It's just that he restrained himself a little. After all, he was not short of money and food. Working so fast would not do him any good.

If he works fast, it will appear that other educated youths are too slow. Being so pushy, there's no guarantee that people won't hate you. Villains are difficult to deal with, although he is not afraid of them, but it is better to do less than to do more.

In collective work, there are always those who love to be lazy. Er Laizi hid a peanut in his pocket when no one was paying attention. He looked up and saw Shi Rong and Zhao Zhixin not far away.

The two men were carrying baskets and preparing to go up the mountain behind. Er Laizi shouted: "Shi Rong, what are you two doing on the mountain?"

The people in the field all looked at the father and son.

Zhao Zhixin paused in his steps and cursed in his heart. This scoundrel, even if he doesn't work hard, is still a gossip, which is really annoying.

"I broke my leg some time ago, and Rong Rong has been feeling poorly lately. No, we are going to go up the mountain to pick up more mushrooms and try to make up for it."

It is normal for children in the village to go up the mountain every day to collect some firewood and pick some mushrooms. But... Zhao Zhixin is an adult, and he still competes with children for work. He is really shameless.

Besides, who doesn’t know that Zhao Zhixin is a lazy guy? He also broke his leg, obviously to avoid wearing work clothes. Look at how fast his legs are walking. Does it look like he has an injury on his legs?

Relying on his wife's ability and being lazy all day long, why did Shi Wenxiu fall in love with him?

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhixin with contempt, but Zhao Zhixin didn't care and called Shi Rong happily: "Rong Rong, what are you looking at? Let's go up the mountain."

Shi Rong noticed Xie Shuchen looking at him. Thinking of the handful of White Rabbit toffees and dried meat, he suddenly became motivated: "Dad, wait a moment, I will have a few words with Xie Zhiqing."

Zhao Zhixin also ate White Rabbit toffee last night, so he would naturally not object to Shi Rong's friendship with the generous Xie Zhiqing. He propped up his legs and nodded: "Okay, you go."

Seeing a layer of sweat on Xie Shuchen's forehead, Shi Rong took out his green military water bottle from the basket, "Xie Zhiqing, do you want a drink of water?"

This work has to be done until noon. You can sweat so much without moisture. Generally, when new educated youth come to work in the fields, they have no experience and will not be so well prepared.

It was okay for Xie Shuchen not to be reminded by Shi Rong, but as soon as Shi Rong opened his mouth, he was really thirsty. He lowered his eyes. The green kettle in front of him was well protected. It could be seen that its owner cherished it very much.

As if he was worried about being rejected, the young man pursed his lips. His lips were beautiful, soft and moist, like blooming red flowers, as if they could squeeze out juice in the next moment.

Somehow, a picture suddenly flashed in Xie Shuchen's mind.

The young man seemed to be thirsty, so he unscrewed the green kettle and swallowed the water. The water stains followed him across his small Adam's apple and fell into his collar...

Shi Rong hesitated for a moment, wondering if he was too enthusiastic and made this city man a little uncomfortable, "Xie Zhiqing?"

"Well, thank you." Xie Shuchen came back to his senses, took the kettle, and smiled gently: "...Comrade Shi."

After thinking about it, he took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket and handed it to Shi Rong.

Shi Rong's eyes lit up, and she became more determined to make friends with Xie Shuchen. This Xie Zhiqing is really generous. How many White Rabbit candies does he have?

Shi Rong pretended symbolically, "That's not good, it's just a mouthful of water..."

"That's right! Xie Zhiqing, it's just a sip of water, why do you need so much sugar?" The eyes of Er Laizi, who was observing from the side, lit up and he couldn't help but squeeze over.

He pointed to the big bowl he had placed under the shade of a tree, with a flattering expression on his face: "I also have water, you can drink whatever you want. Just give me a candy."

? Damn scoundrel! Shi Rong was angry. Who wouldn't be greedy for so much candy? He was just being reserved, how could he allow his second-rate son to take the lead?

He glanced at the father next to him, and then coughed violently...

"Second scoundrel, you should save some money." Zhao Zhixin received the hint and quickly came over and rolled his eyes: "Your bowl of dirty rhubarb is disgusted by the rhubarb at the entrance of the village, and you still want it to be used by educated youths?"

Then, with lightning speed, he took the White Rabbit toffee from Xie Shuchen's hand, with a smile on his face: "Xie Zhiqing is a good man. He knows that my family Rong Rong is weak and needs to be replenished... "

The villagers on the side looked at it and suddenly looked disappointed. They didn't expect Xie Shuchen to be so generous. They originally wanted to come over and get a share of the pie, but they were overtaken by Zhao Zhixin.

This is sugar! A few mouthfuls of water can be exchanged for a handful of candies. Only a fool would not do such a good deed. This candy will be saved for the Chinese New Year to entertain guests, which will save a lot of money.

With so many people watching, it was rare for Zhao Zhixin to be generous. He waved his hand and said, "Xie Zhiqing, just take Rongrong's kettle first. After we finish picking mushrooms, we will come to you to get it."

Xie Shuchen glanced at Shi Rong and wanted to refuse, "I..."

"Don't worry, Xie Zhiqing, the water I brought is enough for both of us to drink." Zhao Zhixin didn't wait for Xie Shuchen to refuse, and quickly pulled Shi Rong and turned around to leave.

This much sugar is theirs, hey hey hey!

Xie Shuchen looked at the two people's retreating figures, opened the lid of the pot and took a sip of water. Maybe it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that the water tasted sweet...
